Update #17: Europe Shoot --- Complete!

Posted on April 15

Hey all

Here's a blog entry showing how the Europe shoot went. I think you're gonna love it. We are nearly done shooting now. I'm gonna grab like 3 or 4 more people, and then we're done. This is big, folks. The film is international now.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for donating to this film. You made this trip possible. The film is gonna be spectacular. We are swimming in great material and the editing plan is in place.

Update #16: Viva Amiga shoot this weekend

Posted on March 21

www.midwestgamingclassic.com 

Hey all, just a reminder for those in the Milwaukee and Chicago metro areas, Viva Amiga is gonna be here this weekend doing some interviews with gaming and Commodore historians. But if you can come on out and want to say hello, perhaps we can get you interviewed, if you have a story to tell. Also, yeah. Giant frickin arcade. Yeah.

Update #15: Euro Shoot Booked and Planned

Posted on March 18
Big stuff, guys. The European trip is scheduled. Marvin Droogsma has basically taken this intimidating part of the film's journey and OWNED it, booking the locations and making it incredibly easy for me to focus on the job of documenting gaming and the demoscene, along with some special interviews with people like Petro T. Tyschtschenko. We will be at Revision in Germany and here in Holland for party and interviews. Will be in Frankfurt and Essen in Germany.

4th – Zach Arrives early in Amsterdam. Spending the day to get equipment and travel to Germany. Stopping by in Essen presumably.
5th – At Petro’s place for interview.
6th – Visit Revision (Germany) and do some shoots/interviews.
7th – Back to Holland for Dutch demo party (so please, not too early)
8th – Resting day and/or do some final interviews/shoots/edits
9th – We cry and sob for hours because Zach is going back home…

      Was just thinking about this over the weekend! Great to hear back from you and that progres is being steadly made on the film. I won't be able to make it to any of those events in April unfortunately (I'm based near Manchester, England) to represent the Lemoners but I'll certainly bump you on the Lemon Amiga forum in case others can take advantage of this. Again, EXCELLENT WORK.

      Wow, RJ Mical has changed a lot. Did he tell the story about how he was told they were working on a "Game Machine" when he interviewed, until he pointed out the Keyboard and External Drive ports?
